CHILDREN MUST NOT BE DEPRIVED OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AS PUNISHMENT FOR BEHAVIOR ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL OR EMOTIONAL DISABILITY, AND FAMILIES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RELINQUISH CUSTODY OF CHILDREN WITH EMOTIONAL DISORDERS IN ORDER TO ACCESS NEEDED TREATMENT. WE ARE COMMITTED TO THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR THE SYSTEM'S FAILURES TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE RESOURCES THEY NEED FOR STABLE LIVES AND MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION IN THE COMMUNITY.
